In Conversation With DEAD LEGENDS Writer James Maddox
By Justin Munday
Published by A Wave Blue World, the DEAD LEGENDS saga unleashes a new fury of fists and feet with DEAD LEGENDS II #1 on August 11th, escalating the action established in the preceding 5-issue miniseries. Writer James Maddox reunites with artist Gavin Smith, letterer Ryan Ferrier, and color assistant Milena Deneno for a new descent into epic storytelling that embraces the legacy of Kung Fu and Wuxia cinema history.
I was fortunate enough to get to talk to James about this new volume and his influences, the process, and his experiences working with the amazing art team on this ass-kicking adrenaline shot of a comic book.
MFR: This series wears its influences on its sleeve, ranging from Bruce Lee's films to The Raid, and of course some classic comics like Shang-Chi and The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu. As a writer, how did you manage to maintain the line between homage and outright copy?
JM: In a genre that has a lot of history and influential titles, I found it was best to be aware (as much as is possible) of the ground that's covered by other creators. Then draw a focus on the aspects, details and character traits that would make DL stand out as a unique experience. Sure, there's going to be nods and overlap, but after doing our best to understand the works that laid the foundation of this genre, the main through-lines of Dead Legends are all me and Gavin.
MFR: We find ourselves in a Golden Age of kickass, unique women protagonists in comics and other mediums. Where did the idea for Yan and Red Death as the two leads in Dead Legends come to you?
JM: From day one, Gavin had the design made for Red Death as a staple character in the series, but it took some time and planning for us to come up with Yan. Once the groundwork for Yan was set, she took the spotlight and ran with it. And even though I'd like to think Dead Legends embodies an ensemble cast, the standouts from that crew have always been Yan and Red Death. Partly because of the history that brought them to this tournament, and partly for the brutality they employ to reach their goals.
MFR: Something folks may not realize is how insanely difficult writing and scripting a fight scene can be – much less dozens of them. What was your process like for coming up with all of the fight sequences through this series?
JM: Mainly, I wanted to balance the pages devoted to character drama and those dedicated to combat. To do that, Gavin and I worked out a system that essentially let us put our individual focuses on the page. I was more into the difficult choices facing these characters, while Gavin was able to use the allocated space to choreograph some brutal fights. Finding the balance to those two aspects takes some back and forth, but the collaboration has helped bring out the best of both approaches to this series.
MFR: The main cast is wildly diverse, both in terms of representation and personalities. How did you come up with the cast, and how did their voices develop as you wrote them?
JM: I approached the series with certain characters locked in. Red Death, Damon, Stalk and a handful of others had their design and voices from the start, but others found their way after the first pass of the issue 1 script. By the time I sent off the final draft, I felt the foundations for each of them were set and made moving forward to later scripts that much easier.
MFR: Gavin Smith draws the hell out of every page in Dead Legends, and Ryan Ferrie's lettering is super clean. How did you all start working together, and what was your combined process like for this series?
JM: Gavin and I have been friends for years, and we'd always talked about collaborating on a project together. When a spot opened up in his schedule, I asked him what he wanted to draw most in a series, and he said a martial arts book and even showed me some of the characters that he'd want to use for the series (Blind Tiger was one of these characters). Things worked out, and here we are. Ryan and I have been con buds for a while, and he came on board because he liked the concept, and even though he was phasing out of lettering work to focus on writing, he did us the favor of taking on Dead Legends.
MFR: How did publisher A Wave Blue World contribute to the process behind this book? What kinds of tips and encouragement did they give to help achieve this vision of tightly-woven ass-kickery?
JM: Tyler and Wendy Chin-Tanner (the co-publishers of AWBW) have been a driving factor in getting this series into the hands of readers. Before he departed AWBW, Joe Illidge was on point in his role as editor and he strengthened the story for both volume one and two with his suggestions and critiques. But throughout the journey of this series, Tyler has pushed us to tell the kind of story we think is both fun and important, trusted us with constructing the vision, and provided us with the support to make it happen.
Writer James Maddox, artist Gavin Smith, letterer Ryan Ferrier & color assistant Milena Deneno continue their grindhouse epic in the wake of volume one's catastrophic tournament!
"This comic is ultimately a challenge in balancing emotional storytelling with the action of classic martial arts movies and Kung Fu comics," writer James Maddox explains. "The resulting approach offers relentless action that punctuates a story of loss, perseverance, and found families."
The continuing story follows the trials of Yan, a young woman trained by her grandfather, Jee Sin—one of the most deadly and experienced martial arts experts in existence. After winning the last Dead Legends tournament and taking lethal revenge on her husband's killer, Yan flees the competition's self-destructive overseer and his army of merciless followers. Luckily, she has friends like Red Death and Stalk to aid her and the child. But new adversaries, including the unhinged Tigress, will resort to sinister tactics that Yan and her fellow refugees couldn't fathom.
The resulting comic should resonate with fans of iconic cinematic martial arts film, including Riki-O: The Story of Riki, Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior, Bloodsport, The Raid: Redemption, Kill Bill, and the seminal oeuvre of Bruce Lee.
"This second outing allows me to dive deeper into both the technical roots of martial arts, as well as its more fantastic extrapolations," artist Gavin Smith—who holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do��elaborates. "I can't wait to show off the intricate web of issue four and some of Red Death's most savage fight scenes. James and I were able to amplify the sheer chaos and brutality of the first volume.
Be sure to check out the first and this second volume of Dead Legends from publisher A Wave Blue World, available now!

Jen Orr, 43, a physical therapist from Murrieta, will attempt to break the World Ultra Cycling Association 24-Hour Solo Female World Record of 439.65 miles. The current record, held by Nancy Raposo, was set almost three decades ago, Sept. 22, 1992. Orr is a newcomer to the ultra-cycling community and only entered her first 24-hour time trial in November 2017. Her results were an impressive 392.8 miles and an entry card for Solo Race Across America. In 2018, she won the 24-Hour World Time Trial Championships setting a new female course record of 456 miles. In 2019, Orr not only won the overall female division of the 928-mile, non-stop Race Across the West, but she also beat the entire men's field. "That was an extraordinary accomplishment," Orr said.

Longing for an updated version of Tweetie for Mac? Well, come tomorrow — rumored to be exactly at noon ET when the Mac App Store launches — Tweetie for Mac will be rebranded as Twitter for Mac and immediately available. The screenshot up top was dug up by Razorianfly, and the new Twitter application should bring native retweeting, real-time updates, and "drag and drop" tweets — though we have no idea what that last one is. Hit us up on Twitter — @BGR — when the App Store launches and you've downloaded the new Twitter for Mac hotness, alright?
Can't wait to see whats going to be in there. I like what Google has done so far with there App Store for Chrome Web Browser. More and more every day.
A Twitter client? Wow, that's magical, for sure.
Mostly the same as Tweetie v1.

A super-heavy tank or super heavy tank is any tank that is notably beyond the standard of the class heavy tank in either size or weight relative to contemporary vehicles.

Programs have been initiated on several occasions with the aim of creating an extremely resilient vehicle for penetrating enemy formations without fear of being destroyed in combat; however, only a few examples were built, and there is little evidence of any super heavy tank having seen combat. Examples were designed in the First and Second World Wars, along with a few during the Cold War.

History

First World War

The first super-heavy tank was designed by the Russian naval engineer Vasily Mendeleyev who worked on the project from 1911 to 1915. The tank was envisioned to be invulnerable to almost all contemporary threats but remained on paper due to its high construction cost. Following the production of their first tanks, the British "Flying Elephant" was designed as a tank that would be resistant to artillery fire. Since mobility was more important than protection, and the tanks already developed were successful, work on the project was stopped. The German K-Wagen (Großkampfwagen) was a very heavy design carrying 4 guns and needing a crew of 27. Two of them were under construction when the war ended and both were demolished.

In the early 1920s, the French produced the 70-tonne Char 2C. The ten tanks would see limited combat during the Battle for France in 1940, but were used mostly for propaganda purposes and the French tried to pull them out of combat zones.

The pre-Second World War design and prototype of TOG II* was a lot heavier than any other contemporary tank used by United Kingdom and can also be considered a super-heavy tank.

Second World War

During the Second World War, all of the major combatants introduced prototypes for special roles. Adolf Hitler was a proponent of "war winning" weapons and supported projects like the 188 tonne Maus, and even larger 1,000 tonne Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte. The British and Soviets all built prototype designs similar to the Jagdtiger, and the US was working on the project then known as T95 Gun Carriage, which was later changed to T28 Super Heavy Tank. However, not all of these designs were constructed, and most never passed the prototype stage.

Compared to other heavy tanks of the time, the Tiger II can be considered a super-heavy tank, considering that nearly all contemporary heavy tanks in service at the time were significantly lighter. However, during this period of the war Germany generally opted to field and design generally heavier vehicles. By late 1943, the Panzer IV tank had been significantly up-armed and up-armoured in contrast to its original role and production specifications (resulting in a considerably heavier tank), and Panthers were considered medium tanks despite being of similar mass and volume to contemporary heavy tanks of other nations involved in the conflict. As a result of the trend of generally increasing mass, by late-war German standards the Tiger II is a heavy tank. It is widely classified as a heavy tank by war historians, and nowhere near as heavy as the undisputedly super-heavy Maus.

Cold War

The idea of very heavy tanks saw less development after the Second World War, not least since the destructive force of tactical nuclear weapons would always overcome any feasible armour. Wartime advances in armour and propulsion technology allowed post-war heavy tanks developed by multiple nations to be significantly heavier than the average heavy tank fielded in World War II, while not reducing overall comparative mobility. Examples include Object 279 (Soviet Union), T30 Heavy Tank (United States) and Conqueror (Britain). All of these vehicles meet or exceed a weight 60 tonnes while still being capable of reaching speeds of 35 kph or faster. While the American T30 tank exceeded 85 tonnes while combat loaded, none of these vehicles can be considered a true Super-Heavy Tank.

Main Battle Tanks were developed and used by every tank building nation during the Cold War, largely phasing out the doctrinal role and use of "Medium", "Heavy", "Cruiser" and "Infantry" tanks. For example, the last heavy tank in American service was the 65-ton M103, which was retired from US Army service in 1963 (and from US Marine service in 1973). Fielding a tank larger than an MBT during this period would not provide a significant advantage to protection or offensive capability, considering the likely battlefield conditions and theaters of war. No super-heavy MBTs were produced during the Cold War.

Post Cold war

Further advances in armour technology have given the armour of late 20th century tanks the estimated equivalent of over a metre of rolled homogeneous armour (the primary type of armour used before the invention of composite armour, now used as a standard for comparison between different armour designs). This means adding more armour would not increase protection to any significant degree. Current development is instead focused on a combination of remaining undetected, interfering with tracking, and active counter-measures to neutralize the enemy weapon systems.

List of models

 United Kingdom
 TOG 1: 80 tons; built in 1940; designed for ground conditions similar to those experienced in the First World War; one prototype.
 TOG II*: 80 tons improved design of TOG1; one prototype.
 Flying Elephant: First World War-era project at 100 tons; not built.
 Tortoise heavy assault tank: 80 tons, designed to attack fortifications. 6 pilot vehicles were completed.
Neither of the TOG prototypes were built the way they were designed; had the sponsons been added and the proper turret attached, their weight would have been different.

 France
 Char 2C: 69 tons; ten built, in service from 1921 to 1940; obsolete by the Second World War, nine destroyed to prevent capture and the remaining one was shown in Berlin as a trophy.
 Char 2C bis: 72 tons; modified Char 2C with 155 mm howitzer and different turret; one Char 2C was converted into this variant but later returned to the original configuration
 FCM F1: 139 tons; First World War-era replacement for the Char 2C, meant to attack fortifications. Ordered to be built, and full-scale wooden mock-up was produced, but no prototypes were made before the Fall of France (1940).
 ARL Tracteur C: 145 tons, developed by ARL to attack fortifications; wooden mockup was produced but canceled in favor of FCM F1 which was proven to be a superior design (developed 1939-1940)
 AMX Tracteur C: 140 tons, developed by AMX to attack fortifications; the project was terminated after AMX was out of schedule (developed 1939-1940)

 German Empire
 K-Wagen: 120 metric tons; two were nearly complete when the First World War ended. Both were demolished.

 Nazi Germany
 Panzer IX: Fake concept drawing printed by Signal to deceive Allied intelligence.
 Panzer X: Another fake "concept" by Signal.
 Panzerkampfwagen E 75 Standardpanzer: 92 tons; only a design concept.
 Panzerkampfwagen E-100: 140 tons; one incomplete hull at factory captured by British and later scrapped.
 Panzer VII Löwe: About 95–100 tons; cancelled in favour of Maus.
 Panzer VIII Maus: 188 tons, two prototypes. Both were captured by the Soviet army, although one had been partially destroyed. A composite of the two can now be seen at the Kubinka Tank Museum.
 Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte: 1,000 tons; cancelled, no evidence construction began.
 Landkreuzer P. 1500 Monster: 1,500 tons; pre-prototype, no construction began.

 Japanese Empire
 O-I series
 "Super Heavy Tank": 120 tons. Purportedly one prototype was produced in 1943. According to another source, the O-I project was canceled before the 120-ton prototype was completed.
 "Ultra Heavy Tank": Modification of the O-I Super Heavy Tank with four turrets. Design concept only, never constructed.

 Russian Empire
 Tsar Tank: A 59 ton tricycle gun platform made in 1914, with giant metal wheels approximately 9 meters in diameter.  It was abandoned because it was vulnerable to artillery.
 Mendeleev Tank: 1911 to 1915 design for a heavily armoured "landship" which would have weighed around 170 tons if built

 Soviet Union
 T-42 (Tank Grote or TG-V): 100 tons with 107mm main gun and four sub-turrets. Models and drawings were produced, but no prototypes were made.
 KV-4: 1941 project. A set of design requirements produced multiple proposals for a tank carrying a 107 mm main gun and a 45 mm or 7 6mm secondary.  Various layouts were considered, weighing as light as 82.5 tons and as heavy as 107 tons. Feasibility stage only, no prototypes were built.
 KV-5: another Kliment Voroshilov series 100-ton-class tank design. Armed with the same 107 mm main gun in a large, KV-2-style turret and two 12.7 mm machine gun turrets (one on the forward hull, one on top of the main turret); powered by two V2 diesels due to wartime lack of a 1,200 hp engine. The project stopped due to the Siege of Leningrad and was cancelled without anything built.

 United States
 T28 Super Heavy Tank: Also known as T95 GMC, designed for attacking heavy fortifications. 86.2 metric tons; 2 prototypes built right after the Second World War; by layout a self-propelled gun very similar to British Tortoise. One is on display at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Thousands of students across the country participate in SkillsUSA competitions each year, but locally in the Lehigh Valley they are also exposed to career training and guidance. As participants within the SkillsUSA Council, students have the opportunity to meet and interact with business leaders at various events and in their workplace. To demonstrate the importance and benefit of the program, we asked alumni to share their personal stories, explaining how SkillsUSA Council helped them achieve their goals. The b-roll captured shows the techniques each student mastered through practice and competition. We also had the opportunity to interview business leaders who are active members of the board of directors. They explained how community involvement is directly related to the success of the program, as well as their own personal benefits from being involved.

Senado Square or Largo do Senado is located in the central area of the Macau Peninsula. This 3,700-square meters public square was added on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2005, and is one of the four largest squares in Macau.
Senado Square has been in front of the Leal Senado Building during the Ming Dynasty. Local authorities also used to review the troops as inaugurations were held here during the Portuguese control era. A statue of Portuguese soldier named Mesquita used to stand in the square's center. However, it has been destroyed by the Chinese, because he was behind the death of many Chinese soldiers during the Qing Dynasty—a dark time in the country's history. The statue is replaced by a fountain, which exists up to now.
Traditional Chinese restaurants and shopping centers are located around the square, so you can go there and enjoy shopping for trendy clothes and diverse, unique food. The square's also paved by hired Portuguese experts with colored stone mosaic patterned after the image of waves in the early nineties; it is a famous attraction due to its beauty and charm.
Up to now, Macau's cultural activities are held here. From firework displays to lion and dragon dances during the Chinese Spring Festival and Christmas, you will surely enjoy going here.
Various shopping centers and traditional Chinese restaurants can be found all around the square. Take the time to visit them all to experience the full treatment of Senado Square.
Koi Kei Bakery, a famous egg tart shop in Macau, is located near the square. Try out their well-known Portuguese egg tarts.
The museum of the Holy House of Mercy is also located in the square; guests who enjoy the culture of Christianity in Macau will undoubtedly enjoy the various religious displays available at the museum.
Many large events are hosted in the square. Visit the square during the Chinese Spring Festival or Christmas to experience the unique festival culture that Macau has to offer.
Some of the buildings surrounding the square such as the Pedro V Theater and the St. Augustine Church have very few traffic. Visit these places when planning a photoshoot.

According to some speculation, the name "D'Reign" symbolizes an expectation that Wade and the Miami Heat will reign as the NBA champions this season, but can turn into just a playoff shoe if the Heat fails to capture the title once again.
Catch this out soon and don't dare miss it!


Former NBA player Sebastian Telfair was arrested early Sunday morning on a slew of gun possession-related charges and possession of a controlled substance.
Telfair and Jami Thomas, 18, were stopped by police when their illegally parked pickup truck was seen moving with the headlights turned off. The two were arrested at 2:50 a.m. after authorities spotted a burning joint in the car. When a search of the vehicle was conducted, three loaded firearms, one semi-automatic rifle, a bulletproof vest and two bags of marijuana were found.
Telfair and Thomas were charged with unlawful possession of a ballistic vest, unlawful possession of ammunition magazine, possession of a controlled substance, aggravated unlicensed operator of a motor vehicle, and a motor vehicle equipment violation. Even though the situation that these two have found themselves in is no laughing matter, you already know Twitter still had to get their jokes off.


CLEMSON, S.C. – Four women's tennis players were named to the 2015 All-ACC Academic team as announced on Wednesday by the Atlantic Coast Conference. For the second year in a row, Clemson and Miami tied for most selections with four honorees apiece. Seniors Beatrice Gumulya and Romy Koelzer were named to the All-ACC Academic team for the second consecutive year while Joana Eidukonyte and Tristen Dewar were honored for the first time.
Koelzer, a First-Team All-ACC selection, graduated in May with a degree in communication studies. She finished the 2015 season ranked 44th in the nation in singles and was a recipient of the Weaver-James-Corrigan postgraduate scholarship. Gumulya, a Second-Team All-ACC selection on the court and a May graduate in parks, recreation tourism management, earns her second career All-ACC Academic team honor. Gumulya finished the year ranked No. 57 in singles, while she and partner Jessy Rompies, both Doubles All-Americans in 2015, finished the season ranked fourth nationally in doubles.
Eidukonyte, a First-Team All-ACC selection, finished the year ranked 16th in the ITA poll in singles. The parks, recreation, tourism major was also named an All-American after finishing 37-7 on the season. Dewar received her first All-ACC Academic Team nod after a successful academic year in communication studies. Dewar was 17-15 in singles 13-13 in doubles play in 2014-15.
The women's tennis program had a successful year both in the classroom and on the courts, as the Tigers recorded the highest GPA of all Clemson athletic programs while in season in the spring of 2015 and also set the highest GPA for the women's tennis program since 2005, all while advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.
About the AwardTo be eligible for consideration for the All-ACC Academic Team, a student athlete must have earned a 3.00 GPA for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during her academic career.

Q: How do I mock LocalDateTime() in Kotlin with Mockk I'm writing test for a UserService that creates an anonymous user, and part of that includes saving a timestamp at time of creation. The time seems to be mocked properly within the test function itself, but when a timestamp is added in the actual UserService, the real time is being returned.  How do I mock it properly?
the relevant UserService function is:
UserService.kt
fun createAnonymousUser(jwt: AuthenticationJsonWebToken): User {

    val user = User()

    user.anonUserId = jwt.name
    user.createdAt = LocalDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC)

    return userRepository.save(user)
}

UserService.test.kt
@TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
open class UserServiceTest {
    private val jwt = mockk<AuthenticationJsonWebToken>()
    private val userRepository = mockk<UserRepository>()
    private val authProperties = AllAuthProperties()
    private val fixedClock = mockk<LocalDateTime>()
    private val slotUser = slot<User>()

    @BeforeTest
    internal fun init() {
        clearAllMocks()
    }

    @Test
    fun getMe() {
        every { jwt.name } returns "anonymous|123"
        every { LocalDateTime.now() } returns LocalDateTime.MAX

        val userService = UserService(userRepository, authProperties)

        val user = User();
        user.anonUserId = jwt.name
        user.createdAt = LocalDateTime.now()

        every { userRepository.save(capture(slotUser)) } returns user
        val anonUser = userService.getMe(jwt)

        verify { userRepository.save(anonUser) }
        assertEquals(anonUser, user)
    }
}

I'm just not sure how to accomplish what I'm trying.

A: Turns out I had it mostly right; I just needed a slight tweak.
verify { userRepository.save(anonUser.capture) }
assertEquals(anonUser, user)

Q: clearing stdin buffer ? I was writing some code and used fgets to get user input. And then i wrote a loop over my code to keep asking for user input until the user prints quit. But the second time it asked, it wrote "Please enter your input" 2 times instead of 1 , and didn't wait for my input the first time.
So, i googled it and found that the stdin buffer was filled and it had to be cleared.
I found this solution :
void dump_line(FILE * fp) {
    int ch;
    while ((ch = fgetc(fp)) != EOF && ch != '\n') {
        /* null body */;
    }
}

and then calling from the main function :
dump_line(stdin);

I have a very hard time understanding it. As i understand it, it simply assigns "ch" the value of fgetc(stdin) .. I simply cant understand how would assigning fgetc(stdin) to "ch" clear the buffer .
Thank you very much for your help!

A: Here is an old snippet I am using for user input if I really need to do it in pure C:
int get_line(char *buffer, int bsize)
{
    int ch, len;

    fgets(buffer, bsize, stdin);

    /* remove unwanted characters from the buffer */
    buffer[strcspn(buffer, "\r\n")] = '\0';

    len = strlen(buffer);

    /* clean input buffer if needed */
    if(len == bsize - 1)
        while ((ch = getchar()) != '\n' && ch != EOF);

    return len;
}

It retrieves bsize  amount of letters from stdin and stores them into given buffer. stuff left in stdin input buffer will be cleaned automatically. It also removes newlines (\r and \n) from the input data.
Function returns the amount of characters sucessfully read.

A:
it simply assigns "ch" the value of fgetc(stdin)

Calling fgetc has the side effect that a character is read and removed from that file stream.

A: Assigning fgetc(stdin) to ch is not what clears the buffer.  It's the actual calling of fgetc(stdin) that does it.  Each call (and thus, each iteration of the loop) eats a char from stdin.
How it works:

*

*Call fgetc(stdin), and assign the result to ch.

*If ch is not equal to either EOF or '\n', go to 1.

When the loop stops, one of two things will be true:  Either you've just eaten the char that marks the end of the current line (read: you're at the next line now), or stdin is empty and you won't get any more input.  (The latter is semi unusual in an interactive app, but common when people pipe stuff into your app from elsewhere.  Be ready for it.)

A: fgetc() gets a character from the buffer.  This code reads characters from the buffer until the end-of-file or a new-line is reached.

A: This is the same loop, but written differently, perhaps this will explain it:
void dump_line(FILE * fp) { /* dump a line from fp */
    int ch; /* temporary storage for character */

    while (1) {
        ch = fgetc(fp); /* read char from fp, this removes it from the stream */

        if (ch == EOF)  /* break if we reached END-OF-FILE */
            break;

        if (ch == '\n') /* break if we reached a newline, because */
            break;      /* we have succesfully read a line */
    }
}

A: Another example for clearing the buffer:
char ch[1];
while(1){
    ch[0] = fgetc(stdin);
    if(ch[0] == '\n' || ch[0] == EOF) break;
}

A: Here's a two line solution I came up with, hope this helps someone.
char ch;
while ((ch = fgetc(stdin)) == EOF || ch == '\n');

The fgetc both reads and removes from the STDIN buffer. It will continue to do so until it reaches the EOF or newline, meaning STDIN is now empty.

Certbot's Website Gets a Refresh
By Erica Portnoy
Certbot has a brand new website! Today we've launched a major update that will help Certbot's users get started even more quickly and easily.
Certbot is a free, open source software tool for enabling HTTPS on manually-administered websites, by automatically deploying Let's Encrypt certificates. Since we introduced it in 2016, Certbot has helped over a million users enable encryption on their sites, and we think this update will better meet the needs of the next million, and beyond.
Certbot is part of EFF's larger effort to encrypt the entire Internet. Websites need to use HTTPS to secure the web. Along with our browser add-on, HTTPS Everywhere, Certbot aims to build a network that is more structurally private, safe, and protected against censorship.
This change is the culmination of a year's work in understanding how users interact with the Certbot tool and information around it. Last year, the Certbot team ran user studies to identify areas of confusion—from questions users had when getting started to common mistakes that were often made. These findings led to changes in both the instructions for interacting with the command-line tool, and in how users get the full range of information necessary to set up HTTPS.
The new site will make it clearer what the best steps are for all users, whether that's understanding the prerequisites to running Certbot, getting clear steps to install and run it, or figuring out how to get HTTPS in their setup without using Certbot at all.
Over a year ago, Let's Encrypt hit 50 million active users—and counting. We hope this update will help us expand on that peak, and make unencrypted websites a thing of the past.

Q: How do i copyPaste through AppScript into another file instead of a sheet Right now I am using this formula to copy and paste to another Sheet. Though due to the file getting bigger and bigger, we want to place it in a seperate file which we dont really have to open.
function copyInfo() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var copySheet = ss.getSheetByName("Kenmerken Script");
  var pasteSheet = ss.getSheetByName("CopyPaste");

  // get source range
  var source = copySheet.getRange(3,3,300,6);
  // get destination range
  var destination = pasteSheet.getRange(pasteSheet.getLastRow()+2,1,500,4);

  // copy values to destination range
  source.copyTo(destination);

  // clear source values
  source.clearContent();
}

I tried to use getsheetbyURL instead. This did not work as it gave an error.
I also tried to find more information on https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/sheet#copyTo(Spreadsheet). Though I cannot find an clear answer here.
I tried to add another "var" but "var sss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet. And then put pastesheet = sss.getsheetbyURL". This didnt work either.
I understand the things in the code which I have now. I only need to find the correct string.

A: I believe your goal is as follows.

*

*You want to copy C3:H302 of a source sheet of Spreadsheet "A" to the last row of a destination sheet of Spreadsheet "B".

*You want to use Spreadsheet URL for retrieving the Spreadsheet.

In this case, when your showing script is modified, how about the following modification?
Modified script:
function copyInfo() {
  var destinationSpreadsheetUrl = "###"; // Please set your Spreadsheet URL.
  var destinationSheetName = "###"; // Please set the destination sheet name.

  // Source sheet.
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var copySheet = ss.getSheetByName("Kenmerken Script");

  // Destination sheet.
  var dstSS = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(destinationSpreadsheetUrl);
  var dstSheet = dstSS.getSheetByName(destinationSheetName);
  var temp = copySheet.copyTo(dstSS);
  temp.getRange(3, 3, 300, 6).copyTo(dstSheet.getRange(dstSheet.getLastRow() + 2, 1));

  // clear source values
  copySheet.getRange(3, 3, 300, 6).clearContent();

  // Remove temp sheet.
  dstSS.deleteSheet(temp);
}

*

*When this script is run, the values of "C3:H302" are copied from the source sheet of the active Spreadsheet to the destination sheet of another Spreadsheet. And, "C3:H302" of the source sheet is cleared.

*If you want to use Spreadsheet ID, please use SpreadsheetApp.openById() instead of SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl().

*If you want to copy only the values, I thought that getValues and setValues can be also used.
References:

*

*openByUrl(url)

*copyTo(spreadsheet)
Added:
From your following reply,

The formula itself works which is great. But it seems to take the formulas and not only the values. See picture: i.imgur.com/VRYCuTP.png . This causes an error since this file is not aware of any sheet named X. Would there be a way to only copy the values?
In this case, how about the following sample script?

Sample script:
function copyInfo() {
  var destinationSpreadsheetUrl = "###"; // Please set your Spreadsheet URL.
  var destinationSheetName = "###"; // Please set the destination sheet name.

  // Source sheet.
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var copySheet = ss.getSheetByName("Kenmerken Script");
  var temp1 = copySheet.copyTo(ss);
  var r = temp1.getDataRange();
  r.copyTo(r, { contentsOnly: true });

  // Destination sheet.
  var dstSS = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(destinationSpreadsheetUrl);
  var dstSheet = dstSS.getSheetByName(destinationSheetName);
  var temp2 = temp1.copyTo(dstSS);
  temp2.getRange(3, 3, 300, 6).copyTo(dstSheet.getRange(dstSheet.getLastRow() + 2, 1));

  // clear source values
  copySheet.getRange(3, 3, 300, 6).clearContent();

  // Remove temp sheets.
  ss.deleteSheet(temp1);
  dstSS.deleteSheet(temp2);
}

Review: Sarah Michelle Gellar's comeback can't save 'Wolf Pack' on Paramount+
Zaki Hasan January 23, 2023Updated: January 24, 2023, 2:05 pm
Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as Kristin Ramsey in "Wolf Pack." Photo: Paramount+ / MTV Entertainment
Former vampire slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar returns to the realms of fantasy TV with "Wolf Pack," a new Paramount+ series premiering Thursday, Jan. 26. Unfortunately, her quarter-century of accrued credibility battling bloodsuckers and other creatures of the night isn't enough to make this feel like more than a mundane rehash of tired tropes we've seen before, and better.
The screen adaptation of Edo van Belkom's popular 2002 YA novel (a very loose adaptation, it's worth mentioning) has the former Buffy most prominently placed in its marketing, but she mostly flits in and out of the proceedings, with the show's focus instead on a cast of newish faces navigating the onset of a very hairy problem. Foremost among those faces is high schooler Everett (Armani Jackson) who, along with fellow student Blake (Bella Shepard), survives an attack by a wild animal even as many of their classmates are killed.
Before long, Everett is sporting washboard abs and Blake's skin condition clears up. Ah, the upsides of lycanthropy!
All this is happening against the backdrop of wildfires that may or may not be the act of an arsonist. Into this investigation drops Kristin Ramsey (Gellar), who has some entirely reasonable questions for the wayward teens who conveniently survived the blaze (and whose wolf bites are visible only to each other — so no good alibi there either).
Bella Shepard as Blake Navarro, Tyler Gray as Harlan Briggs, Armani Jackson as Everett Lang and Chloe Robertson as Luna Briggs in "Wolf Pack." Photo: Steve Dietl / Paramount+
Of course, you can't have a pack with only two wolves, which is where siblings Luna and Harlan Briggs (Chloe Robinson, Tyler Gray) come in. We know their dad is involved in the fires somehow, and we know they're werewolves, but we don't know much else just yet. This is a show that's long on portent and "something is coming" place-setting without the necessary exposition to keep the audience invested in what's actually happening.
"Wolf Pack" is the latest werewolf project from producer Jeff Davis, who first cut his fanged teeth on MTV's cult favorite series "Teen Wolf" (a new feature film continuation of which also premieres Thursday on Paramount+). The projects are unrelated, but it's safe to assume "Wolf Pack" wouldn't exist without "Teen Wolf," and it's also likely "Teen Wolf" wouldn't have happened if not for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
As such, there's a symmetry and appropriateness to bringing in Gellar, a beloved figure in this genre, to share some of her "certified icon" status. And while it's likely her character will become more essential to the mix as things progress, she doesn't get much of a showcase in the two episodes made available for review. Further, "Wolf Pack" thus far doesn't do much to highlight what separates this project from other recent supernatural teen dramas (a very long list at this point).

Indeed, while the producers have taken pains to say this is a separate story from "Teen Wolf," its aesthetic can't help but evoke it and feel derivative as a result. In a similar vein, it feels like "Wolf Pack" is trapped by a mythology it hasn't even expanded on yet. It's all too familiar to be treated like it's something new.
The "Wolf Pack" books (there are four so far) have been popular for long enough that it's easy to see why Paramount thought they could claw an entire series' worth of driving interest out of the premise. But while they make a game effort of sprinkling some of their "Teen Wolf" magic over the proceedings, it falls flat so far. The debut season of "Wolf Pack" is set to span 10 episodes, and one wonders if there will be enough acclaim from fans of the books or the uninitiated to keep them coming back — or if they'll prefer to let sleeping dogs lie.
K"Wolf Pack": Drama series. Starring Armani Jackson, Bella Shepard and Sarah Michelle Gellar. (TV-14. Ten episodes.) Premieres Thursday, Jan. 26. Subsequent episodes released Thursdays through March 30.

Q: How to increase query performance for filling a combobox with 7500 rows in DevExpress? I have a DevEx GridView and inside that I have GridViewDataComboBoxColumn. I need to fill the Combo-box with 7500 rows. I have used the following query in stored procedure sp_select_AllStocks
Select StockId,StockName from StockMaster;

The below code is used in aspx.cs page to dynamically bind combobox.
DataTable dt_fill_StocksCombo = new DataTable();
            dt_fill_StocksCombo = con.select_AllStocks();
            ((GridViewDataComboBoxColumn)gdStocks.Columns["StockName"]).PropertiesComboBox.IncrementalFilteringMode = DevExpress.Web.ASPxEditors.IncrementalFilteringMode.StartsWith;
            ((GridViewDataComboBoxColumn)gdStocks.Columns["StockName"]).PropertiesComboBox.DropDownStyle = DevExpress.Web.ASPxEditors.DropDownStyle.DropDown;
            ((GridViewDataComboBoxColumn)gdStocks.Columns["StockName"]).PropertiesComboBox.DataSource = dt_fill_StocksCombo;
            ((GridViewDataComboBoxColumn)gdStocks.Columns["StockName"]).PropertiesComboBox.ValueField = "StockId";
            ((GridViewDataComboBoxColumn)gdStocks.Columns["StockName"]).PropertiesComboBox.TextField = "StockName";

The function definition of select_AllStocks() is as follows.
public DataTable select_AllStocks()
    {
        Open_Connection();
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        cmd = new SqlCommand("sp_select_AllStocks", con);
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        SqlDataAdapter adt = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
        adt.Fill(dt);
        Close_Connection();
        return dt;
    }

The above method takes approximately 30 seconds to load combobox with 7500 rows.
Is there a way out to increase the performance?

A: ComboBox supports fetching records from a data base on demand. The ASPxComboBox.ItemsRequestedByFilterCondition and ASPxComboBox.ItemRequestedByValue events are used for this. See the Filtering a Large Data Source demo. Here is a solution for how to use this feature in the Grid: ASPxGridView - Filtering a Large Data Source in a combobox

A: Public Sub fillCombo(ByVal cbobox As LookUpEdit)
        With cbobox
            cbobox.Properties.Columns.Clear()
            cbobox.Properties.Columns.Add(New LookUpColumnInfo("Code", 10))
            cbobox.Properties.Columns.Add(New LookUpColumnInfo("Name", 20))
            .Properties.Columns.Item(0).Visible = False
        ds = INVBl.FillCustomer()
        .Properties.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
        .Properties.DisplayMember = "Name"
        .Properties.ValueMember = "Code"
        .Properties.ShowFooter = False
        .Properties.ShowHeader = False
        .Properties.ShowLines = False
    End With
End Sub

Public Sub RfillCombo(ByVal cbobox As Repository.RepositoryItemLookUpEdit, ByVal column As String)
    With cbobox
        cbobox.Properties.Columns.Clear()
        cbobox.Properties.Columns.Add(New LookUpColumnInfo("Code", 10))
        cbobox.Properties.Columns.Add(New LookUpColumnInfo("Name", 20))
        .Properties.Columns.Item(0).Visible = False

        ds = INVBl.FillItem(column)
        .Properties.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
        .Properties.DisplayMember = "Name"
        .Properties.ValueMember = "Code"
        .Properties.ShowFooter = False
        .Properties.ShowHeader = False
        .Properties.ShowLines = False
    End With
End Sub

This lesson examines the various combinations and probabilities behind rolling dice. We will look at a game of dice and what to expect to win or lose in a game. In addition we will extend these concepts to playing with different sided dice.
Imagine walking into a casino for a game of dice, knowing exactly what to bet and how much you will win or lose. This is called the expected value of the game, and in this lesson we will learn how to calculate it.
In casinos, there is a game called 'craps,' which involves rolling two six-sided dice. The rules are somewhat complicated, but understanding the probabilities of the different combinations of the dice gives a person a solid advantage in the game.
Suppose you play a game where you roll two six-sided die. And, suppose the rules of the game are: you lose $3 if you get a sum of 2, 4, or 10. You lose $2 if you get a sum of 7, but win $1 for anything else. If you continue to play this game, what can you expect to win or lose in the long run?
We can think of the amount won or lost as the values of the discrete random variable X. And so, X is the amount of money won or lost per roll of the dice. Plus, each of these values has a probability associated with it.
So the key to this is to know the probabilities of each event. For this, we need to examine what happens when two dice are rolled. Even though the die may look the same, from a mathematical perspective they are two distinct die. They are independent of each other. In probability, independence means they don't affect each other. So each die is independent of the other because one die doesn't affect the outcome of the other.
To illustrate, let's make one die blue and the other die red.
Each die has six sides, and so there are six possible outcomes for each die when rolled individually. However, when rolled together, there are 6 * 6 = 36 possible outcomes! This may be surprising, but the diagram below illustrates all the outcomes and all the sums when two dice are rolled.
So, for example, you could get a 1 on the red die and a 1 on the blue die, which adds to 2. And, actually, this is the only way to get a sum of 2. And so the probability of getting a sum of 2 when you roll two dice is 1 out of 36, which is about 0.028, or a 2.8% chance!
We can look at the table to find the probability of any of the sums for the two dice. So, for a sum of 4 the possibilities are 1 on red + 3 on blue, 2 on red + 2 on blue, or 3 on red + 1 on blue. The reason we do not count 2 + 2 twice is because 2 on red + 2 on blue is the same as 2 on blue + 2 on red!
Thus, the probability of a sum of 4 is 3 out of 36, which is about 0.083.
And the probability of a sum of 10 when you roll a dice is? You can pause the video here to calculate this from the table.
I hope you calculated 3/36. You can see from the table that there are three ways to get a sum of 10: 4 + 6, 5 + 5 or 6 + 4.
So let's go back to the game. You lose $3 if you get a sum of 2, 4 or 10. And now we know there is a 1/36 probability of getting a sum of 2, a 3/36 probability of getting a sum of 4 and also a 3/36 probability of getting a sum of 10. Since we are interested in all of these outcomes, we get a total probability of 1/36 + 3/36 + 3/36 = 7/36, or about a 0.194 probability of getting a sum of 2, 4 or a 10 when you roll two dice.
What about getting a sum of 7? What is its probability? You can pause the video here to see if you can calculate it.
So I hope you got 6/36, which is about 17%! So, we see there are 6 ways to get a sum of 7: 1 + 6, 2 + 5, 3 + 4, 4 + 3, 5 + 2, 6 + 1.
There are more ways to get a sum of 7 than any other sum, and it is sometimes called lucky seven! Although in this case, it is unlucky for you since you will lose $2 if you get it!
So how do you win this game? You need to roll anything else but the above sums of 2, 4, 10 or 7. And what is the probability of doing this? One of the properties of probabilities for a particular situation is that they all must add to 1. More formally: the sum of all the probabilities in a probability distribution add to 1.
A probability distribution lists all the outcomes of a particular situation and all the corresponding probabilities. In this case we are talking about the sum of the numbers on the two six-sided dice.
So, we already know that the probability of getting a sum of 2, 4 or 10 is 7/36 and the probability of getting a sum of 7 is 6/36. So what is the probability of getting some other sum?
Since they must all add to 1, we can just total the probabilities we know and subtract the result from 1! In other words the probability of getting a sum of anything else other than 2, 4, 10 or 7 is: 1 - 7/36 - 6/36 = 23/36, or approximately 0.64 or 64%. So there's a 64% chance you win something in this game, and that something is a dollar!
What can you expect in this game if you play it many times?
To calculate the expected value we multiply the value of each event by its probability and then add the results. So, for the event of getting a sum of 2, 4 or 10, we multiply -3 times 7/36, which equals -21/36. And for the event of getting a sum of 7, we multiply -2 times 6/36, which equals -12/36. And finally, for the event of getting anything else, we multiply +1 times 23/36 which equals 23/36.
Adding them all together, we get an expected value of: -21/36 - 12/36 + 23/36 = -10/36 or -0.28. In other words, if you continued to play this game, your average winnings would be -0.28 per roll, or a loss of 28 cents per roll of the dice!
And remember, your loss is the casino's gain. So if 100,000 people played this game over the course of a week, what would the casino make on this one game? Well, they would make 28 cents per person times 100,000 = $28,000 times the number of rolls each person played! This is not too shabby a return on investment for the casino!
We have seen that there are 36 possible outcomes when you roll two six-sided dice. Suppose you play a game using three six-sided dice. How many possible outcomes are there now?
Well, since the dice are independent of each other and each die has 6 sides, there are a total of 6 * 6 * 6 = 216 outcomes when you roll three dice! Now we will list all the outcomes here, but if you are ever feeling bored and need something to occupy time, try listing all the outcomes when rolling three dice. I can start you off 1 + 1 + 1, 1 + 1 + 2, 1 + 1 + 3, and so forth.
So let's extend this a little further. Suppose you play a game with three six-sided dice. The rules are: if you roll three sixes, which is a sum of 18, you win $100. But, if you roll anything else, you lose $1. What do you expect to win or lose in this game in the long run?
To answer this, we need to know the probability of getting three sixes when we roll three dice. Well, there is only one way to get three sixes when we roll three dice, and that is a six on the first die, a six on the second die and a six on the third die. And since there are a total of 216 outcomes, the probability of 3 sixes is 1/216!
To calculate the expected value, we multiply the value times it probability and sum the results. So the expected value of this game is: (100 * 1/216) + (-1 * 215/216) = -115/216 = -53 cents, approximately. So you can expect to lose about 53 cents on average for every roll of the dice! This is shown in the table below.
So far we have discussed playing with six-sided dice. But what if a die had a different amount of sides? Like a four-sided die or a 10-sided die? Well, the rules used to calculate the probabilities and expected values using these types of die are the same, although the probabilities will vary. For example, let's look at a four-sided die, which is called a tetrahedron, and let's suppose it is numbered 1-4 on its sides.
Since we are dealing with a four-sided die, when you roll it, the side we are interested in is the side that it sits on, not the side facing up. Why? Because a four-sided die cannot have a face sitting vertically upwards! Notice the number on the bottom side of the die labels the face that it is sitting on.
So, how many outcomes are there when we roll two four-sided die? Well, just like the six-sided die, they are independent of each other and so there are 4 * 4 = 16 possible outcomes. You can list them just as we did with the two six-sided dice, but note there can only be sums of 2 through 8.
So what is the probability of getting a sum of 7 when you roll two four-sided dice? To answer this, let's list the different ways to get a sum of 7 with two four-sided dice. To get a sum of 7 we can a 3 on the first die and a 4 on the second die or a 4 on the first die and a 3 on the second die. Thus, there are only two ways to get a sum of 7 when rolling two four-sided dice. And so, the probability of getting a sum of seven when rolling two four-sided dice is 2/16 or 1/8!
In this video we looked at the nitty-gritty behind rolling dice. We saw that with multiple die, each die is independent of each other. And so specifically, when you roll two six-sided dice, there are a total of 6 * 6 = 36 possible outcomes. But all of the outcomes result in sums from 2 through 12, with varying probabilities ranging from 1/36 for a sum of 2, to 6/36 for a sum of 7 and back down to 1/36 for two sixes, or a sum of 12.
We also saw that all the probabilities of the distribution added to one. And, we learned how to calculate an expected win or loss in a game of dice by multiplying each value by its probability and then adding the results. We also looked at variations on games of dice, and you saw that when you roll three six-sided dice, there are a total of 6 * 6 * 6 = 216 outcomes.
And when you roll two four-sided dice, there are a total of 4 * 4 = 16 possible outcomes. Listing the various outcomes allows us to calculate their probabilities, and knowing the probabilities allows us to calculate expected values. The expected value is really an average value of the game, be it a win or a loss.
